Taps

The latest kitchen must have, a boiling tap means it’s time to ditch the kettle and save time, energy, and space, not more bottles to store.

Boiling water taps provide an instant supply of boiling hot water directly from the tap, bypassing the need for a kettle. A must-have for those who enjoy cooking as well as those avid tea and coffee drinkers, these taps are easy to install and utilise heated water tanks. Certain models even provide 3-in-1 functionality, delivering cold, warm, and boiling water from a single unit.

Most manufacturers state that a boiling water tap costs about 3p/day to run when in standby mode (although electricity prices have changed dramatically since such claims were made). A kettle, by comparison, costs about 2p to boil a litre of water.
